Purgatory (2)
. "You seem to be pitying the Paudis, who I used as bait, to bring Vibbi's expression into his eyes. Alberrecht's slightly unhappy voice reminded the Lich that it should not be distracted at this time.
"The undead will not have such feelings of mercy. From the moment of death." The lich did not think that he was really merciful to those who could not escape from the Pearl Island, as Alberrecht said. Although it was indeed a bit too kind to Lucien, it did not mean that it would risk his life to save people. Tell Lucien that Alberrecht's decision was at the limit, and as for ordinary people who could not escape, he could only blame Alberrecht for using them as bait.
"That's best, otherwise I would really think you told Lucien the news that I used Pearl Island as bait. Remember who you are now, he is no longer your brother, but an ally to beware of at any time."
"Just like Anal?" If someone else had given him ten thousand courage, he would not dare to say this. But Victor just aimed at Alberrecht and would not touch it for the time being, and his words were more presumptuous than before.
Since the true identity has been guessed, Victor does not want to maintain the respect that it has not shown much.
Victor's rhetoric made Alberrecht's expression froze, but his anger only lasted for a very short time.
"That's right." Such an answer is equivalent to indirectly admitting that he sent someone to assassinate the former pope.
Victor stopped talking and turned his eyes to Saen and Sheryi, who were now entering the command room.
"Your Majesty, Alfonso's navy has begun to land. When will we activate the magic cannon?"
"Wait a little longer, wait until they enter the main city. It's too early to move." After glanced at the silent Victor, Alberrecht reached out to stroke the magic map, and the light spots near Pearl Island scattered in extremely slowly.
I said why he wouldn't station troops on the island. He had never planned to use Timas as a front-line base from the beginning. Now that the Holy Song exterminated the clan, no one on the island can activate the magic circle from the inside. Use magic cannons to attack and activate the first layer of automatic defense barrier. It is too late to retreat when Alfonso's army realizes something is wrong. Continuous magic cannon bombardment will touch the second layer of defense barrier, and no teleportation spell will take effect. Even large portals like the Realm Gate will be invalid due to the interference of the magic circle. When the third layer of defense is activated, their death period will come.
"Look at the expression, do you already know my plan?" Alberrecht's words made the two commanders turn their attention to Victor at the same time.
"Your Majesty wants to start purgatory." In the strongest hymn, the name of purgatory intimidates the north, and has not chosen Pearl Island as a battlefield in several camp wars. Both the dark and the light camps are afraid of having strong destructive power and ignoring the secret troubles of our enemies.
“I thought that since eighty years ago, the Purgatory Array had died with the death of the last chants.
If you said earlier, you might be able to save the people of Typhus who were used as bait by me." Although he looked regretful, everyone present knew that Alberrecht would never feel guilty for it. In his eyes, human life was no different from ants. "I just saw records about the Purgatory Array from some ancient books. As for the method of activation, how could such a secret matter be known to me, a descendant who was not even a direct line." Victor naturally would not believe Alberrecht's words. Even if it really said the method of activation, it would not save the people of Tiphus. From the beginning, Alberrecht wanted the entire island to be buried.
Alberrecht sneered a few times, and did not ask any further. He waved to the attendant who was on standby and activated another magic device in the command room. The scene in the Pearl City was now visible on the huge crystal.
The light-armored Alfonso army burned, killed and looted the city without any discipline. Seeing this scene, Alberrecht frowned slightly, while Victor, who was standing behind him, could not control the slight rise of the corner of his mouth.
Alfonso was not stupid either. He sent a vanguard army composed of pirates to test the movements of the bright side. I don’t know if Alberrecht would be angry because of this.”
Sheryi was about to scold Victor when he was pulled by Sarne.
"Don't have any verbal conflicts with that guy in front of His Majesty. Saen persuaded Seryi with his mouth to the undesolate anger. "You know your majesty's temper. Even if you have followed him since childhood, you cannot bear his anger,
How could I watch that guy so arrogant when I called me?
Although he did not say anything, Seryi's expression was enough to show his mentality at this time.
Saen shook his head repeatedly and continued to persuade Alberrecht in oral words at an invisible angle.
"He won't be arrogant for long, and wait for the war to end"
Do I think I don’t know what you said if I don’t say anything? Who is the arrogant person? All his expressions were reflected by the crystal, two fools.
Victor saw the silent conversation between Saen and Schery from the giant crystal, and he could even see it. Alberrecht naturally could do it, so I don't know if he would indulge these two subordinates who randomly speculate on his mind.
The only character of his own is that Alberrecht never allows him to guess his ideas. Only by making exceptions is Velli and Shilian who cannot find an important piece of paper that can replace him before the end of the war.
At this moment, the magic crystal suddenly shone red light, attracting everyone's magical power. It was this sudden change that caused Alberrecht, who had already opened his mouth, to change his mind in an instant. "After the shooting gun issued the order, he stared at the image sent back by the magic, and Alberrecht's eyes were shining with the flames.
Let me see how powerful the purgatory magic array is, which is famous all over the world.
The huge Pearl City had already been filled with crying and shouting. The pirates who landed in Alfonso killed everyone and robbed the house. Because the nobles and the Senate were killed in the rebellion not long ago, Victor, who had taken control of Timas, was not there. The remaining officials had no right to command the garrison on the island. It can be said that they were completely unprepared for Alfonso's attack. In addition, the airships of the Pearl Island were covered with coalition forces, and they all thought they would protect Timas, who was a vassal state. Until the killing began, the people in the city were still so naive and delusional.
A loud bang not only shattered the hope of the Timas, but also woke up the dream of the Pirates Alfonso. The magic bullet hit the magic barrier that was invisible to the naked eye with high heat and great impact, causing ripples like ripples.
Both the invaders and the invaders looked up at the sky, but they didn't realize what the attack represented.
boom!
Another blow, the magic bullets that hit the barrier hard no longer only brought a slight impact. The subtle cracking sound was particularly loud in the sudden quiet air.
"Look!" I don't know who it was. Everyone moaned desperately because of the countless light spots that were approaching in the air. The magic cannon as dense as raindrops came from directly above the city.
Airships”, how could there be so many!
The pirates were in a state of chaos. Although they could see airships floating near Pearl Island when they were on the sea, the number was far less than that of now. They thought they were just path exploration pioneers sent by the Allies of the Southern Continent.
It is magic, and it must have been a magic that can block the sight. Before the magic bullet attacked, there were only a few lonely airships in the sky, which was much different from the current scene that covered the sky and the sun.
"Damn it, the dark elves deceived us! They said that there were no garrisons on the island, and the Confederate would not start war easily before the army was over. They were all lies. They wanted us to die."
The seemingly leading pirates were useless to shout hatred and scold them. They were too late. The greedy heart made them want to rob them from the wealthy Pearl Island to never be a pirate property for their entire lives, even though they knew that the war was imminent.
"Don't panic! Go to the realm gate and we teleport away." The leader shouted and ordered to move forward to the large teleportation magic device.
Not only pirates, but also the Timas rushed towards the only escape exit. For a moment, the streets were filled with escapees.
Because the pirates were too slow, the pirates raised their butcher's knife again and killed innocent civilians who blocked their way. The blood made the road more difficult. The sticky blood stained the pirate's feet and clothes red. When they finally arrived at the Realm Gate, they found that all the remaining nobles were lying here. The door-shaped building made of huge stones was silent, neither bright nor sounded.
"What's going on?!" He grabbed a nobleman's clothes and the pirate leader asked sternly. The nobleman who was more afraid of death than anyone else was still in the city. This weird scene made him feel scared.
"I can't leave, the portal has expired," he stammered and told the truth to the vicious pirate, and was so scared that his nobleman was pulled from the ground that he turned pale.
"Damn it" and took a knife to end the noble's life.
I really shouldn't believe those cunning dark elves. No matter how much money you have, it's useless.
He pulled another nobleman and asked if there were any underground passages or buildings for refuge in the city. The nobleman looked at the corpse on the ground tremblingly, nodded first, and then shook his head suddenly, for fear of being killed after telling the truth.
"You fat pig, better say quickly, I don't have the patience to wait for you." Shaking the scimitar that was still bleeding in his hand, the ferocious collar that threatened the noble Tidis who had been scared.
"Yes, just below the town hall." There is "yes" before the words "yes" were finished, the nobleman also failed to escape the pirate's murder. He fell in a pool of blood and his throat clattered, but his face twisted with a strange smile, and he was left behind by the pirate's corpse along with what he had not finished.
"Retreat to the center of the city, municipal buildings usually have temporary shelters built underground, so we go there to hide." The portal failed, and the only way now is to hope that the shelter built by the nobles is strong enough to resist the attacks of increasingly powerful magic bullets.
The Pirate Corps looks calm on the surface. In fact, he is as panicked as other pirates.
